The son of an Episcopal priest has now been sentenced to life in prison without parole after killing his parents.
Isaac Tiharihondi, aged 20, pleaded guilty to two counts of capital murder in the killing of his father and mother in their Houston apartment.
On Monday, he admitted in court to the crimes he committed and also thanks his supporters.
Documents reveal that Tiharihondi discussed with his family that he enlisted in the Marines.
His parents didn’t believe him and planned to confront him.
Police have confirmed that the U.S. Marine Corps have no record of Tiharihondi enlisting.
The family was discovered beneath towels in the bathroom of their home after they failed to attend church.
According to reports, he beat his parents to death with a baseball bat, a hammer and a lamp.
He also allegedly stabbed his brother in the neck with kitchen knife.
The young child was discovered in a bathtub.
After he committed the murders, his friends said he acted normal and apparently made a fake phone call to his mother, who was then dead.
